Another Effort to Advance the South s
Interests.

The publishers of the Manufacture
ef5' RtcUA, of Baltimore, IN further
.ance Of their efforts to aid in the up
building of the material interests of
the South, have just issued, under the
title Of s.'The New South" u book Of
nearly 500 pages. This book is
devoted to an exposition of the South.
1t gives al accurate and comprehcn
siye description Of the Southern States,
nothing each State separately and Civ
ing their distinctive features and most
salient characteristics; it tells OF their
resources and attractions, their present
condition and vast possibilities it
treats of topography, soil, climate,
woods, water courses and manuiaC-
lures it pOrtrays the attractions to the
capitalist and those seeking homes in
the South it shows what the South is,
what she has already done in the de
yelopment Of her agricultural and
industrial interests, and what she is
likely to become by reason of her
boundless 1e sources in s)il, minerals,
climate, rainfall, timber, marls and
geographical position and the vast
variety of products possible to a wise
and varied husbandry, and a grasp Of
her rich opportunities for manufac
lures.
Throughout this country as well as
IN Europe the South is attracting great
attention, and from every direction
comes the demand for information as
to the resources and advantages Of this
section. This book meets this demand
and it will undoubtedly be the means
OF accomplishing an almost incalcula-
BILE amount of good for the South.
1t will, in fact, be the most remark
able advertisement of the South ever
published, and we doubt whether any
country ever before in the world S
history had its attractions and advan-
tages placed before so many millions
of readers by means of a single publ
Cation This has been accomplished
by plan that IS novel, and to the
publishers very expensive. As an eff
fective method OF giving it at once the
widest publicity possible, they decided
to place, at their own expense, a copy
richly bound in the finest Russian
leather, with gilt edge and gilt title,
in the reading room of all hotels of
any staSling in every city of the Uni
- ted States, having population OF 10,
900 or more, in every public library,
and in every saloon Of every passenger
steamer plying between the United
States and Europe, South America
and Asia, and in all the principal
coastwise, river, lake and bay steam
,ers in the United States. Through
this unequaled circulation this book
will daily be read by thousand and
tens of thousands of people, including
passengers between Europe and Amer
ica, travellers on all the principal
coastwise and inland steamers of the
United States, from the Pacific to the
Atlantic and from Maine to Texas,
and the guests at all the principal
hotels of the entire country. In doing
this the Manufactures Record has
taken step in advance of anything
ever before attempted in calling atten
ton to the Souths great resources and
attractions.
This effort upon the part of the pub
llshers of the MANUFACTURERS Record
should be sustained by liberal patron
age OF both book and paper. Either
can be obtained by addressing the
MANUFACTURES Record, Baltimore, the
former for S2.5o the latter at $500
per annum.
